[QUOTE="mikeg1005, post: 1727452, member: 38032"] We're going on our 2nd DIY hunt this week. G&F website has all the info on season, etc. You can always buy the special tag and get better odds on a unit. last time we went both the ones we took shots were 110yds and 70yds... but we there is definitely terrain where 250-350yds isn't out of the question so figure out your drops/practice shooting in wind at distance. The meat is pretty straight, you are required by the regulations to take the shoulders, hind quarters, backstraps, and tenderloins. We skinned them, field quartered, carried the required parts back to the vehicle wrapped in cheese cloth from the hardware store... put it on ice/butchered it when we got home. Once you cool it all down it doesn't take a lot of ice to keep cold. It was 70* when we went last time... now its going to be 30* so that'll simplify keeping the meat. They're about the size of a large whitetail doe.... so if you debone the shoulders, keep the hinds in one piece you can put 2 of them in (3) 48 quarter coolers. We camped last time, we're going to again but due to the snow we booked a hotel. Figure out where the closest gas stations are to the unit you hunt so you can get ice/supplies. Your trip really hinges on how short/long you want to make it. We hunted unit 27 and scouted 29 and 7 when we went... and if you're not selective you can easily bag out 3 bucks in 24 hours. Don't shoot the first thing you see unless you're crunched for time. [/QUOTE]
